Drawn at home to Mags in FA Cup

[woodlebert]

I’m unsure, who’s the most expensive player in your squad ??

Clarke I think at about £3m? He’d be against Trippier (smashing player)

 

[Roker Mackem]

We need to start drinking really early too.

Will probably need to be 9am

 

[Big Jeff]

Will probably need to be 9am

Sounds like a plan.

 

[Seaham_FTM]

Looking forward to that bit.

We need to make sure the atmosphere is as hostile as possible from the moment they get off their bus.

Should be louder than ever mate.
Been 8 years and it’s the first time since they sold their soul to the Saudis

 

[Tommy]

Which is why, I said what I did. If we have any hope of going up we need those pieces together at least 5 good signings two of which has to be strikers that can score.

It's just not financially feasible though, is it?

 

[Roker Mackem]

I'll settle for a replay.

The mags are not world beaters, especially away from home.

You sure you want a replay?

 

[G4mb1t]

This. Was thinking the same. When was the gap last this big?

About 2 seasons ago I'd say, when there was an extra league between us.

 

[MackemTonyG]

Sounds like a plan.

Dry January is off the table for many Sunderland fans

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

I'll settle for a replay.

The mags are not world beaters, especially away from home.

I would imagine the mags wouldn’t want a replay with their fixture congestion.

1-0 Clarke, I’m going for an early goal and then siege warfare for 80 mins but we sneak it. It’s a one off cup game so anything can happen. Just gotta make sure no one loses their heads and doesn’t do stupid fouls to get sent off

 

[rubberface]

let’s read out the 2 teams, and we’ll start with Newcastle…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Never heard noise like it when that happened the first ever derby at the Sol. Unreal!

 

[Nathan Gunn]

They'd snap your hand off for a 1-0 now . Pathetic cowardly bastards

I asked a lad i work with yesterday if he'd take a scrappy 1-0 win. His reply, "a win is a win"

The thought of them not beating us in our current positions is terrifying for them

 

[andyj73]

Even rivalry aside, Sunderland beating this Newcastle team would be one of the biggest upsets in English football over the last decade. One of the great fa cup upsets.

This newcastle team are a great side, and will probably finish 4th again.

Sunderland have some good players including Clarke who can cause problems, but it will need a major performance from SAFC to pull off a giant killing.

.. Newcastle are just an average size club, bloated by blood money..

Your right it will be a sell out, your biggest crowd of the last few years.....well for the first 20 mins or so.....

.. Newcastle are just an average size club bloated by blood money. You f***ing blood dripper..

 

[Skylon]

We are the winners no matter what. We haven't sold our souls to a state that commits genocide, executes gay people, stones raped women, and thinks its ok to marry kids.

 

[Lukas73]

2-0, raging mag fans all steam the half way line and run and into an invisible force field..........again.

The lot of them are absolutely terrified, make no mistake about it.

 

[WHD]

The gap between where we are and where the mags are is as big as it’s ever been. I’m expecting a defeat for sure and that’s not being negative but realistic. I just hope it isn’t a really sickening one and that the lads can put in a great effort.

Is it? When we won the league in 1936, they finished mid table in the second division. I would argue that was a bigger gap.

 

[ToneSAFC73]

They will beat us with ease unfortunately

While I’d love for this to happen, unfortunately they’re a bit of a nightmare match up for us tactically.

They throw crosses into the box pretty much non stop, our biggest weakness is defending crosses.

My one mate who actually goes isn’t happy about the draw like. He’s doing the whole “anything can happen in a Derby” thing which is pissing me off, because he’s being too sensible
